From the supplier: Many local police agencies have experienced problems with unsuitable police officer candidates by using shortcuts in pre-employment techniques in their rush to receive federal funding for hiring more officers. Postive candidate identification, a candidate's attitude toward responsibility, and a candidate's possible criminal history are three elements of a backgroud check for policemen. Separate personnel and background files, an annual policy review, consistent forms, date of implementation, and screening parameters are also important policy manual elements in candidate screening.
